SPAIN.
?But for its Infamous history, Spa
?standing uj>on the: brink <^rjn'?"^l^
all object of
iiiigently as one
rough tlie black record of the
past, it is diHicu.lt to find a single reas?
on for the longer existence of the Span?
ish monarchy. (Its government of the.
?beautiful island which uhe United
States will pluck from U;< cruel bands,
onay be summed up in lour words?
"plunder, murder and oppression."
'Almost be-fore Christopher Columbus
had (in-Mied rendering thanks to the
divine hand which led him to the West
Indies, Iiis sailors, true to the instincts
of treachery and sordid greed which
seem to characterize the Spanish race,
were killing and robbing ihe hospita?
ble natives. The occupation thus begun
tin iblood lias continued in blood and
will doubi less bc ended in rivers of
Iblood, which will ebb u.nd How through
the affections of American as weil as
Spanish mothers.
The helpless, hopeless condition of
Spain, without u (Single tfUiend and
Without even a ".policy" ally, should be
a most forcible example of the truth
that it pays to do right tinder oil cir
?euimsrtanccfc'. Of course, nations us 'Weil j
as individuals, are liable to err, but
there can be no doubt that when

fin Uhe direction of justice and cqi
Sinn and staunch friends will not be |
Jacking in the critical moment.

(poor dividends, but there can w no
doubt that it pays in the long run,
whether or not it is- considered in flu
light of a great moral principle.
AS CONTOtABA'N D
COAL
The decision of Great Britain and the
United States to consider coal as con?
traband of war is a most tserious blow
to the effect i vet less of the Spanish |
fleet even before a gun is fired. 09von
tlf Captain Sampson and Commodore
?ohley do not raise the anchors of
Ufheir magnificent ships it is difficult
to understand how uhe imuch advertiUed
torpedo flotilla and 'formidable cruisers
iwill 'be able to accomplish very' much
?Jamriage with empty coal bunkers. To
the modern warwhip proper fuel is just |
es essential to successful operations
as is ammunition and gunn,
Bhutting off Spain's available coal sup?
ply Uncle Sam has 'more thorn half |
rwon the ?battle. Under ihe present or- ]
rangememt the Spaniards will be forced
to transport their coal across the iAt
?anllc in barges, a particularly hazard?
ous undertaking with swift sind 'mighty
cruisers hovering around like eagles
ready to tnvoop down upon any prize
thot preseri's itself. Perhaps the Span
lards beat tii- Americans in the game
of diplomacy, but it looks, as if your
Uncle Sani -is at least one point ahead
In the game of hostilities about to
commence.
It is difficult
understand wl
Sine Spanish board of inquiry secured
Uhe material for its Ma die report unless
fit secured the services of a spirituality
mvediuim and interviewed ihe ghost of
the late lamafted Baron Munchaiusen.
Those Spaniards who are in such a
Diurry to leave the United States must
